Since the 13 of Januari it has stayed below zero here! And it will get above zero probably Saturday or Sunday. So then we had 2 weeks of subzero weather.

Well I guess we have to beat you on that at this side of the Northsea.

Unfortunately!

The freeze is finally over. icon_sunny

After 14 days with an average temperature below 0 we have now been above freezing since midnight. And the temperature is said to reach 6-8 degrees on a daily basis in the next week or so, if we are lucky. This two week sub-zero freeze was only interrupted on day nine with above zero degrees (+1,8 degrees) for a few hours. It is one of the longest cold spells I can remember, only beaten by 2009-2010.

Without a protective snow cover I'm sure the cold will have made a huge impact on the garden and there will be many casualties come spring. The only good news is that the temperature did not fall below -6,3 during the cold spell...

How cold does it get there by the way? Here we had several nights colder then -10 C. And to grow such a large number of exotic plants in Norway must be qieut a challenge!

Still frost here, but it will be finished soon!

On my protected islands and in similar places you normally won't see temperatures below -10 in colder years. Inland or in frost hollows you will get temperatures a few degrees below that. Inversions are a real problem when we have a sationary high pressure above scandinavia without any wind. Bottom of valleys are the worst place you can live in these set ups.

For me it is definitely not the temperature in itself that kills, but the prolonged cold spells we've seen these last couple of winters. I've not got enough experience yet to know how two weeks of cold will impact my garden, but cordylines did not look happy after the much shorter cold spell i december... Hoping for the best but expecting the worst....
